Anson County Commissioner Claude Spencer, left, and Vancine Sturdivant, center, helped organize last year's Back to School with Pride event at Lilesville's Hatcher Park. Local kids, counterclockwise from left, Ashley Greene, J'Nyus Davis and Adwyn Gaddy visited the event, along with J'Nyus's and Adwyn's mom, Sherlise Clark Gaddy.

The Back to School with Pride is open to the less fortunate youth of all diversities.
There will be entertainment provided by HOLLA! and M&L Fun-Fun located in Morven.
